Citicoline (CDP-Choline) 60cap - Life Extension

Citicoline (CDP-Choline) 60cap - Life Extension

The ingredients in Citicoline (CDP-Choline) may:

• Supporting your cognitive health
• Support overall memory function and healthy mood
• Improve brain energy metabolism
• Increase levels of several neurotransmitters

Support your cognitive health and neurotransmitter synthesis with the advanced Citicoline (CDP-Choline) formula, which contains a unique form of choline capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier.

Health benefits at a glance:
First of all, what is CDP-choline? CDP-choline stands for cytidine-5'-diphosphate choline and is an essential nutrient involved in many physiological processes, such as communication within and between our cells. Choline is also necessary for the structural integrity of cell membranes.

Despite the fact that our bodies can produce the substance in small amounts, a substantial portion of the population consumes inadequate amounts of choline, and dietary intake of the nutrient becomes increasingly important for brain health as we age. (1,2)

Why it works:
Choline is a substance necessary for our brains to produce acetylcholine, an important brain/motor neurotransmitter that facilitates communication between neurons—a basic part of healthy brain function. This neurotransmitter is essential for healthy cognition, attention, memory function, and much more.

Unfortunately, our brain cells absorb less choline as we age. Citicoline (CDP-Choline) can provide a form of choline that readily passes through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​directly into the brain, where cells can easily use it to nourish cell membranes and support neurotransmitter production.

The science behind the product:
CDP-choline may promote the synthesis of neurotransmitters, particularly acetylcholine, in the brain, which is believed to explain many of its beneficial effects. (3)

In the brain, choline serves as a precursor to acetylcholine, an important neurotransmitter that is important for transmitting signals between nerves and implicated in cognitive processing.

CDP-choline is also a neuroprotectant and promoter of neuroplasticity, with a history of supporting healthy cognition, memory, and overall function in numerous clinical trials. (3-5)

In addition to its clinically studied brainpower benefits in older adults, low doses of citicoline have been shown to support a healthy mood. (6)

CDP-choline may also support the production of phosphatidylcholine, a phospholipid important for nerve growth, function, and cell membrane repair. (3)
